Title: Body Fat % AND Menstruation I hear that if women are below a certain body fat %...they will not menstruate & that it is unhealthy. However, when I was 10-11% in 8th grade (not I'm 13-14%) ... I was and am still menstruating. The only thing I suffer from is being cold all the time. My doctor says that I'm healthy.

I dont know my body fat percentage but however many women who are in great shape and are like 100 % muscle still get their periods..you seem healthy if you are menstruating..but a symptom of mal nutrition and many other things is being cold all the time.(have you told your doctor that?).which i suffered from before when i wasnt eating enough. hope i could help.. li1babe wrote: > I hear that if women are below a certain body fat %...they will not menstruate & that it is unhealthy.

Red wine is aslo a very good source as well but, in moderation. Name: Leslie Date: Jun. 16th, 2001 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | |
